Canon EOS 6D: Turning Creativity Into Reality

The creative process is a series of concessions. That ideal image, pristine and brilliant in your mind, gradually breaks down in the face of technological limitations and, well, real life. The Canon EOS 6D digital SLR camera, the lightest and most affordable of the brand’s full-frame models, seeks to narrow the gap between vision and reality. With a 20.2 Megapixel Full-Frame CMOS sensor, a 100-25600 ISO range, and 11-point autofocus, the EOS 6D more than holds up its end of the creative bargain.

The camera also shoots full HD 1080p video and with the Digic 5+ processor it enhances noise reduction at low light levels. Additional key perks include a 3-inch ClearView LCD and EV-3 sensitivity for focusing in low-light conditions. Still, it’s the integrated wi-fi technology paired with the free EOS Remote app that turns your smartphone into a remote, that had us raising our eyebrows. Now you can share that masterpiece you just captured instantly; and if it’s not a masterpiece, you can’t blame the camera.
